Ferns

I've never been much of a gardener..
oh, I've had small gardens for tomatoes, onions, peppers....that sort of thing.
Never a very large garden.....just not my thing, I guess.

I do love raising flowers and plants,tho.

 

Nice, healthy, green ferns are my favorite plants.


I have 3 big, pretty ferns this summer...
I just take them outside and water/fertilize .....
2 seem to do better inside...







Our dining room is just like a greenhouse in the fact with 5 windows and 2 sets of French doors, the room is flooded with light ....








This Asparagus fern loves it outdoors... 
I mist it every day and it takes a lot of water.....


With the greenhouse almost finished, we will have such a great place
to "get everything growing"... a head start on all the veggies and flowers.

Changing the subject in mid-stream...


We had Pecan Waffles this morning....
as we all know, so many of our memories are connected with food.
The first time I can remember having Pecan Waffles 
was at one of my best friend's house.
We were in Junior High (they call it Middle School now...)
and I'd spent the night with Darlene.
Next morning, we had the waffles, orange juice and fruit...
a pretty vase full of garden flowers in the center of the table.
I can't remember for sure, but I THINK her mama was wearing high heels and pearls.
 LOL.....
We just didn't have breakfasts like that at home...
good food....always....but not quite as .....well.....fancified....
my friend, Darlene, passed away last year.


xo, bj

P.S. We are still in the low to mid 90's here...
still swimming-pool weather for awhile longer.....

  1. Love your new blog header look, bj - sorry I have been MIA.

    Your plants are so healthy - so excited about your greenhouse, how neat is THAT? My hubs would love one - talks about it all the time.

    Those waffles, well, it is 4pm and all I've had to day is a cup of coffee and a power bar - I am drooling over that pic! YUM!

    Have a lovely day. Hugs.

  5. Your ferns are pretty. We bought 2 large ferns for our wedding platform and then had them in our homes for several years in Southern California. Here in our part of Washington ferns grow wild in our yard....
    Those waffles look delicious.

  8. Your ferns are so healthy and lush looking BJ. The waffles look delicious. Temperatures in the 90's sounds fabulous! It's so much cooler here these days which I suppose you'd enjoy after all the heat of summer. :)

  9. Since you are cooking and eating pecans waffles, you must be feeling better. I am glad as I do not like my blogging friends feeling puny. I have never tried growing fern. Yours looks very pretty and healthy.

  10. BJ, I love that waffle iron...and I want one . I have never seen one like that. My granddaughter Emma love waffles more than anything when she comes here...heck we been doing those toaster waffles. I loved how you said facified. :):) I remember seeing nicer things at my guardian angels house. You have to know BJ, our AC is off and the windows are open....it smells so good in here now...I love airing out the house. I love your ferns so much. I usually have some on the porch...but this year I did not buy any. Blessings to you , xoxo,Susie

  11. BJ, you have quite the green thumb! I wish I could get our ferns to last here. It would help if I remembered to water them more frequently in our heat. The waffles sound so yummy. And it is true, so many memories are surrounded by yummy food. I remember having potato pancakes for the first time at my sweet friend Sylvia's house. I loved that her family shared there heritage with me.

  12. The ferns AND waffles look great!

  13. I used to work at a place that sold ferns and seeds. We'd play a prank on new people by telling them someone needed help finding the fern seeds.

    Ferns don't have seeds, they have spores.

  14. BJ my Mom grew such pretty ferns both indoors and outside. I love ferns and conquer up stories in a moss laden forest with slippery rocks and dabbled sunlight, OK I just went into a fantasy. But I truly love ferns, but do not own nor grow any.... But what I love more than ferns is PECAN WAFFLES, Yikes I have really left a disjointed comment!!!!

  17. Your ferns are glorious! I have such poor indoor light And those waffles look delish -- what a wonderful memory of days gone by. They closed the outdoor pool at my gym today. I for an hour swam even though it was being drained (it takes a long time to drain a big pool!). I'll sure miss it.

  18. Your ferns are fantastic. Enjoy that pool as long as you can. The waffles look delicious. Have a blessed evening. Madeline

  20. Beautiful lush looking ferns, especially the asparagus fern. Very tropical looking and will be ideal in the glasshouse.
    And the waffles, well they just look divine.

  25. Hi bj, all your ferns are so healthy, lush and green. I love the asparagus fern. It looks so fine and delicate. The waffles do look good too!

  26. Your plants are gorgeous. Ferns love the heat so yours probably are loving all your hot weather there. How sweet about your friend Darlene and her mom making you guys a great breakfast wearing high heels and pearls too cute.
    Great memories.

  29. I love plants too. It's been so long since I've had any. I splurged and bought some this summer. But they are struggling. Hopin' they will perk up since it's cooler. If not I'll just enjoy yours.
    Thanks for sharing.
    Hope your Thursday is Fabulous.

  33. Your ferns look so healthy and pretty. I love Boston ferns and buy two fresh ones each spring to hang on my front porch. I have to leave them up all winter, even though they die, because my Carolina wren family sleep in them at night - this has been happening for several years! Nature is amazing!

  35. I have some wonderful memories of sleep overs too. I am sorry that your childhood friend passed away. But you have now shared her memory with all of us and I think she is glad to still be on your mind. Still hot here too :-(

  37. So true that many of us remember events by the food we enjoyed. I think pecan waffles are a wonderful way to remember your sweet friend and her mama! Oh I wish that I could grow ferns to look like that!

Way too much spam and people commenting that are stealing my space to post nonsense so.....no comments allowed.
So sorry but I have no other choice.
I love my blogging friends and most of all my family but these spam prone people are so rude and selfish have made my blogging not nearly as much fun..
